Abstract: Based on Alfred Adler’s theory about inferiority complex, compensation and striving for superiority, this paper aims to analyze the motivation of Heathcliff’s revenge in Wuthering Heights. Part I and part II give a brief introduction to an Austrian psychologist—Alfred Adler and his most famous theory of inferiority. Part III analyzes the environmental factors and the individual factors for the formation of Heathcliff’s inferiority in his childhood. And this explains three questions: why Heathcliff leaves Wutheing Heights; why he takes his revenge on Hindley and Edgar; how he is destroyed by his inferiority. Part IV is the conclusion that Adler’s theory helps to explain Heacliff’s inner world thoroughly.
